Hi all,
I'm having a problem where WMI is becoming corrupt at some point during OSD. It seems to occur prior to installing software packages. The errors I'm getting in smsts.log are:
Failed to open WMI Namespace 'root\ccm\policy\defaultmachine\requestedconfig'. WMI Repository may be corrupted Invalid namespace (Error: 8004100E; Source: WMI)TSManager8/22/2011 12:02:50 PM2776 (0x0AD8)
Error compiling client config policies. code 8004100ETSManager8/22/2011 12:02:50 PM2776 (0x0AD8)
Task Sequence Manager could not initialize Task Sequence Environment. code 8004100ETSManager8/22/2011 12:02:50 PM2776 (0x0AD8)
Task sequence execution failed with error code 8004100ETSManager8/22/2011 12:02:50 PM2776 (0x0AD8)
Now the system actually boots and works ok after this, and they even seem to communicate with the SCCM server fine (for instance, in installing new advertisements). However, because of the WMI failure I'm missing all the software installation steps in the TS. I looked around for info on these errors and what I could find pertained to WMI becoming corrupt at a future point after a successful OSD. Maybe I'm just looking for the wrong terms? I'd sincerely appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank you all.
